My pictures have a yellow cast to them and they are not very sharp. When I take pictures outside, my photos are invariably washed out. I find myself manually adjusting light balance before I print (either darkening if I take picture outside or lightening if I take the picture inside). I almost always use Auto mode. I have found nothing that corrects the nasty yellow cast.

Why is my camera overexposing? I cant take pictures outside anymore unless i zoom in if i'm not zoomed in then it is like way overexposing.

I want to take pictures outside but i cant see it on the screen what do i do

There's nothing you can do. When they took away the viewfinder, it became almost impossible to shoot outside in bright sun. Some high-end cameras automatically brighten the screen but even that isn't much help. ...

I was taking pictures outside on a cold day and the camera froze - after warming it up I was able to take more pictures but I thought I lost all the previous ones. I subsequently took about 50 pictures and a message appeared indicating the memory was full(strange?) so I downloaded the pictures to my computer and after download the 50 or so pictures, the camera showed the previous pictures I had taken and I downloaded these and erased the card - I was wondering now if I take pictures whether it i

When taking pictures outside the camera over exposes. Could i have pressed a button that would cause this to happen? when taking pictures indoors the camera takes awsome photos still, but when we go outside they are terrible!!!

Sounds like you set either the aperture to a large small number (large aperture) or the shutter speed to a long value. If this is the case, it should be that in AUTO mode, things work fine, but one of C, M, Av or Tv (custom, manual, aperture priorit ...

My outdoor pictures are white why? I used my camara outside taking picutes without the flash at night last week and now my pictures are white when I take pictures during the day light. This has never happened before. Yes there is snow but I have always been able to take pictures in the winter sunlight. Pictures taken inside are alright.

Shutter Speed Why is it that when I take a picture, if Im shaking or shivering just a bit, the picture comes out really blurred. Even when I change the shutter speed to 1/2000, the picture takes forever to snap. I think the shutter speed is so slow. I cant take ant action pictures without the person looking deformed... HELP!!

Two things to try, 1) The release button is a two stage process. Pushing the release button 1/2 way allows the camera to focus on the subject. It needs a few milli-seconds to do this. A full depress releases the shutter, but it you don't allow t ...

Canon SD600 I used my camera to take pictures of fireworks and I noticed that afterwards, all the photos I was taking outside in daylight were turning white. If I take pictures in the dark, they turn out perfect, and low light pictures are fairly normal except anywhere where there is a light source (lamp, window, etc) the color is streaky and orange. This particular camera has no way to adjust the aperture settings and I am considering taking it to a shop to have it looked at. Is there anything

It sounds like you may be in a low light mode. Put the camera in record mode, and then press the set button (in the middle of the up down left right keys). You probably want the camera to be in automatic mode (or A). If this doesn't solve the prob ...

Nikkor lense I have a AF-S DX Zoom Nikkor ED 18-70mm lense. Up to now it has been good for me. Now I have a problem. When I take indoor shots the lense will not focus in it spins like it is trying to focus but thats all it does is spin back and forth. Sometimes it will take (allow) a picture and the picture is very blurry. I have no idea how this happened. I don't know too much about lenses and this is baffling me, especially since I don't have any trouble shooting or focusing outside. Outside i

If my dxg 538 slim camera gets locked? how do i unlock it if i cant even take a picture. it locked everything but i can see pictures i already took but i cant take one.

Picture white pictures taken inside are great, but when picture taken outside the picture takes white. When looking at picture before you take it it is fine, but after picture is taken you got to look at pic to see how it turns out it is white.

It could be from the erratic flash of light, against the sun, you can try focusing.\015\012\015\012also turn the flash to auto mode.\015\012\015\012dont forget to rate this pls ...

The Monitor on my Nikon D80 does not show any image when I try to take a picture - The viewfinder is ok and the camera takes a picture ok and displays it for about 4 seconds on the monitor after taking it.
I can view the Menu's and can View existing pictures ok via the monitor.
Is there a way to switch the monitor off or on, tried the menus but cant see anything obvious.

You can switch it off so as not to show the picture after you take one.You cannot use the monitor to show images as you're taking them. The D80 does not have a Live View capability. ...

Blurry Images i have recently purchased an Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom, and i love it...but i need some help. when i'm taking pictures outside, at night, like...let's say at the moon, it's blurry. and when i take pictures, like at a concert, where flash is not allowed, it's also blurry. is there something i can do to change the shutter speed to where it will take crisper, cleaner pictures, or what needs to be done???
also, i just ordered a telephoto lens and a wide angle lens. what are these goo

If there's not enough light your camera can't invent any. Well, normally it can, which is what a flash does, but as you've said, no flash allowed.\015\012\015\012Your photos are blury because you're not mounting the camera on a tripod or you are usin ...

I first experienced a problem with my Canon S2Is camera when it was only taking pictures of blank images. I found a "fix" recommendation which seems to have gotten rid of the black image problem. However, now when I take pictures the images seem to have horizonal lines through them if I don't use the flash. Also, if I am taking a picture outside or in a lot of light, the image ends up being extremely light. Have any suggestions?

Think you need to do the fix more. Believe your shutter was previously stuck in the closed position. Now it sounds like it is stuck in the open position. Again keep trying the fix to loosen it up. Just to confirm, the "fix" you're talking about i ...
